I have Windows xp running sp2 on a dualcore pentium 4 desktop with 4 gigs of ram.

The computer is usually plenty fast to handle any task I throw at it. Lately though the computer has been locking up. I have actually taken it to my local computer repair shop ( who is usually great at fixing anything I heard ) and they have not corrected the problem at all.

Let me detail the problem for you.

The computer seems to be constantly lagging and freezes up occasionally. I took a look at the system event viewer to see what it happening right before it freezes up and I see the same error.The max number of tcp/ip connections has been reached.

Also I used security task manager to view my running processes and noticed that there are two instances oftermsrv32.dll

They are both located in the system32 folder.

Also everytime I reboot my computer the allow remote access is enabledI disable each time I reboot the computer and it will reenable itself each time.These are the steps that I have taken to correct the problem.

I have runmalware bytes ( has turned a nothing )spybot ( turned up nothing )estes online ( which turned up a few trojans once and quarantined them )

The system seems to run fine in safe mode.

The reason I think that I am broadcasting the worm is because of the the remote access being enabled each time, the tcp/ip error I am receiving and the multiple instances of termsrv32.dll

I'm on my last legs here. I don't own a windows disk but I am very close to doing a solid wipe on the computer just to address this problem, I don't want to lose all the data I have on the computer though.
